While reading it I had to think about the concept of balance (from a social network perspective). In the simplest form the idea is this: three people/countries/org form a balanced triad (group) if their relationships are all positive.for example: if I read Paul’s newsletter (positive relationship) and Paul reads Rosies newsletter (positive relationship) then I, over time, will start reading Rosie’s newsletter.

I haven’t fully formed an idea about how this balance relates to anti work/the great resignation. If people, work and living form a triad, then for the triad to keep existing the relationships need to be balanced.

In some way the relationships between people, work, and living are changing. Leading to a change in the structure. Another node (concept) might emerge (e.g. sabbatical, side project…)
